Sailing

On Tuesday  a couple of lucky students got the chance to participate on the Okahu Bay Volo Have a go. We were lucky enough to get two sponsors by Yachting New Zealand and Rotary. That day was the perfect day to go sailing with the sun so high and the breeze making waves. 

The first thing that we had learnt was how to make the boats. Everything was already set for us so all we had to do was put the parts together. Our sailing instructors Steve, JR, Justin also helped us with how to sail the boat. In our partners each person had a job. The first job that I had done was pulling the rope to make the flag on the sailboat faster. We then went onto a big boat with justin in it. Justin took us to Steve. We had roamed around ASC to Mechanic Bay. 

After lunch, We had sailed with our partners to sheltered bay to play activities and games like grabbing balls out of the water. Some people were lucky enough to get the water guns. We had also jumped out of the sail boat and struggled our way back into the boat.

Yesterday was an awesome experience because I got to go sailing and got to learn more about different parts.I would like to thank Rotary, Yachting New Zealand for sponsoring us and our instructors Justin, JR and Steve. I would also like to thank Mrs Daf, Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie for taking us on the awesome experience to Volo have a go sailing.
